You know this already.

Read this girls. It doesnt tell you anything you don't know but it's good brain fodder for the moment before you forget it and do the exact opposite even though you know the opposite is the opposite of what you should be doing, not just because the article said so, but because you know so. I shouldn't bother telling you, right? Because you heard it before, and a reminder will only be a mild jolt in your memory, that will trigger the sickening feeling that you know this anyway, but forgot, then guilt will kick in because you told yourself the last time that you should have remembered it the last time you forgot. This sounds complicated but it makes sense, is perfectly sensible and every sane person would agree to its logic. In other words, they know this already.

Read the article and loved it! :) Honestly though, I think it's rather psycho if someone really behaves this way all the time. It just reeks of low self-esteem and malcontent in life.

At the end of the day, we will NEVER be the best, and we will NEVER the richest, most beautiful, smartest, most successful person in the world. Period! There's just too many perspectives and ways to look at things, and what one deems as exemplary may be considered mundane by someone else?

I guess I learnt that a long time ago when I kept getting compared to Vivien (hee hee). Here was her mum comparing with my mum her daughter with me, and how I was seen as the uglier, fatter and dumber one out of the two. I really hated Vivien back then as a kid.

Looking back, I can't help but feel sorry for her because it's obvious her mum is probably suffering from 'baboon behaviour' and will never be satisfied comparing just about anything.
